Large Filled Easter Eggs

We have done a lot of paper mache in our house lately. It just seems like a great way to create less waste and save money on craft supplies.
To make these large Easter eggs simply paper mache some balloons. Mix flour with twice as much water to create the paste. Dip strips of newspaper in the paste and carefully wipe off the excess. Cover the balloon with the strips until you have around 4 or 5 layers. It helps to have the balloon resting in a bowl while you make it and it dries.
After the paper mache Easter egg has dried you can start painting it. If you want to use the large eggs to hold special surprises just make a small X cut on the bottom and carefully place the surprise inside. Then you can tape the cut closed.
